What the model expected
Its probabilities for this match, logged before kick-off and never changed. The result is highlighted.
The model made Atalanta to win its most likely call before kick-off, and that is what happened. It had the result at 48% beforehand.
One match tells you nothing on its own — whether these percentages are any good is the whole point of the calibration page, where every one of them is scored.
The brain read
Sassuolo created the better chances — the xG read 0.7–2.7 and the shot count agreed (14–21, 7–8 on target). Sassuolo got into the box far more often (11 shots inside it to 8). Atalanta's finishing ran hot — 2 from 0.7 xG, 7 of 14 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 2–1 flatters Atalanta — on chances created, Sassuolo shaded it.
A second opinion written by rule from the numbers on this page — where the shot picture and the xG disagree, it says so rather than picking a winner. Backward-looking only; it claims nothing about any future result.

Consensus of bookmaker prices captured 2026-08-23 20:40 UTC. These are the closing prices — the market’s last word before kick-off. The Move column is how each market’s implied chance has shifted since the first price we captured: green = the chance has risen (the price shortened, backing coming in), red = the chance has fallen (the price eased out — what punters call the price ‘drifting’).
